Administrative History

The first Assistant to the President, Arthur A. Hauck, was hired in 1929. The position was originally requested by the Trustee's Endowment Committee, with the purpose of bringing financial expertise to the administration in order to handle the burgeoning numbers of gifts and bequests. The position has changed to meet the needs of subsequent administrations to include a variety of functions.
